What Workato does

Workato is an enterprise orchestration platform founded in 2013 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, that combines integration-platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) with an Enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) layer for AI agent deployment. The cloud-native, serverless Workato ONE platform is sold in four tiers (Standard, Business MCP, Enterprise MCP, Workato ONE) and ships with 1,200+ pre-built connectors, an API gateway, ETL/ELT and reverse-ETL data orchestration, B2B/EDI, RPA, Intelligent Document Processing, and a low-code Workflow Apps builder. Adjacent product lines include Workato Embedded (used by 500+ SaaS companies to ship native integrations), the AIRO copilot, Agent Studio, Workato GO employee assistant, and the Workato Knowledge Base, with Otto by Workato serving as the company's flagship autonomous AI agent and Workato Labs providing an open-source developer toolkit for AI coding assistants.

The company operates a primarily direct enterprise field sales motion with custom multi-year contracts starting around $10,000 per year, complemented by 850+ channel partners, AWS Marketplace, and a self-serve Developer Sandbox. It serves 12,000+ organizations globally, including 50% of the Fortune 500 and 700+ accounts contributing more than $100K ARR across IT, finance, HR, sales, customer support, and embedded SaaS use cases. The platform carries an enterprise-grade compliance stack (SOC 1/2 Type II, ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701, PCI-DSS Level 1, HIPAA, GDPR, IRAP, and a first-mover ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management certification), and is recognized as an 8x consecutive Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for iPaaS and a 3x Furthest in Vision.

Workato generates revenue through annual platform subscriptions, usage-based task consumption, add-ons (Pre-Packaged Genies, Advanced Security & Governance, OpenLegacy, RobotiQ RPA, Private Link, Workflow Apps, EDI, Virtual Private Workato), and professional services. It reported 35% YoY ARR growth and 50% Net New ARR growth in FY2026, partner-sourced ARR up 61% YoY, and an 80% increase in net new bookings in A/NZ. The company remains private, with its most recent disclosed round being a $200M Series E at a $5.7B valuation led by Battery Ventures in November 2021.
